Teams admitted into the Incubate program at SSE Business Lab are offered an investment from SSE Ventures, the early-stage venture capital fund at the Stockholm School of Economics.
The offer
- 300.000 SEK (as a convertible note or as a direct investment in an open round with at least 50% of the round committed).
- Potential follow-on investments in future rounds up to Series A/B (subject to approval from the Investment Committee).
- Connections to the network of investors invested in the fund, for additional investments in future rounds.
The valuation should be decided by other investors in an equity round, and the convertible has a cap of 50 MSEK. SSE Ventures will not be determining a valuation of your company at any point.
This offer is optional upon admission to Incubate and subject to change made by the management team.
Why SSE Ventures?
SSE Ventures’ investment offer is available exclusively to companies admitted into the Incubate program. It was developed specifically as a value-add to the support already offered in the program, with the interests of the startups front and center. As such, we have a fund with no end-date, meaning we have the possibility to be long-term owners, and aim to continue being a shareholder in our portfolio companies long after they have left the Incubate program, while also being able to offer follow-on investments. We call it patient capital.
We’ve also chosen the investors in the fund with care, opting for investors who are looking to co-invest with us directly in our portfolio companies in future rounds, opening up an excellent angel and VC network for our portfolio.
SSE Ventures does not make any investments outside of the SSE Business Lab Incubate program, or write checks other than the 300.000 SEK offered in the program. If you're interested in an investment, please read more and apply to the Incubate program here.
